One of the lucky winners, Mr. D. A. Senarathna said, “For a long time, I had to rent machines to work on the fields. So, I thought I should buy a Mahindra tractor due to its high reputation amongst the farming community, which led me to being a winner of this raffle draw. I cannot explain how happy I am to win a harvester of my own, because it does not just benefit me but my hometown as well. I encourage everyone to purchase a Mahindra tractor from DIMO and avail themselves to endless possibilities that it will bring.”

The other lucky winner, Mr. P. G. D. F. Piyarathne said, “I have been using a Swaraj tractor for about 8 months and I am happy to have won the harvester.
